Description
We discuss theoretical formalisms concerning with experimental verification of General Relativity (GR). Non-metric generalizations of GR are considered and a system of postulates is formulated for metric-affine and Finsler gravitational theories. We consider local observer reference frames to be a proper tool for comparing predictions of alternative theories with each other and with the observational data. Integral formula for geodesic deviation due to the deformation of connection is obtained. This formula can be applied for calculations of such effects as the bending of light and time-delay in presence of non-metrical effects.
